4 Philadelphia Eagles who could lose their job during 2020 NFL Draft

3. Andre Dillard
Will the decision by the Eagles to allow Jason Peters hit the free agency market to pave the way for Andre Dillard pay off for the best in 2020?
Without question, Peters has been incredible for Philadelphia throughout his career, and fans will always appreciate the offensive lineman for all the work put in over the years, but all good things must come to an end at some point.
Last spring, the Eagles decided to use a first-round pick on Dillard with the intention of the Washington State product one day being a significant part of the offensive line.
This could still very well turn out to be the case since it’s only been one season for Dillard in the NFL, and there is obviously still plenty of time for him to prove himself.
But also, it has been no secret there are some concerns surrounding Dillard, and whether the Eagles made a mistake last April using a first rounder on the offensive lineman.
Once again, Philadelphia would love nothing more than to see Dillard live up the first-round hype, but could also take a lineman early on in this year’s draft just to provide some insurance.
At the end of the day, a little extra competition couldn’t hurt for someone like Dillard, and as long as the Eagles feel confident enough in finding the right talent to prove Carson Wentz, this is what really matters the most.
